1, good thermal insulation effect.
Iron in cast iron pot has high carbon content, high hardness, wear resistance, good castability and excellent thermal conductivity. What is even more incomparable is the thickness of its pot wall, so the heat preservation effect is obvious. After using the iron pot, the water temperature can be raised to about 96-97 degrees.
2. Softened water quality
Boiling water with cast iron pot can remove chlorine from water and release healthy ferrous iron to be absorbed by human body, so it can prevent anemia and soften water quality. The water boiled in cast iron pot is not only slightly sweet, but also smoother than ordinary water, so the brewed tea has a unique flavor.
3. High boiling point
Boiling water in a cast iron pot makes tea more fragrant. The boiling temperature of iron pot boiling water is higher, which is about 2-3 degrees higher than that of ordinary stainless steel or ceramic boilers.
4, the heat preservation time is longer
Making tea with cast iron pot boiling water can stimulate and enhance the aroma of tea, especially cooked tea or old Pu 'er tea. The water temperature must be high to release the contents in tea perfectly.
5. The water quality is sweet
Boiling water in a cast iron pan can make the water softer and sweeter. Boiling water in an iron pan can not only release trace iron ions and a small amount of chloride, but also make the water sweeter. The water boiled in an iron pan is similar to mountain spring water.
6, uniform heat conduction
Iron pots can raise the boiling point of water. If a good cup of tea is boiled back and forth too many times, the water quality will easily become "old" and the delicious old rhyme of tea will not be easily stimulated. The boiling water in the iron pot conducts heat more evenly, the boiling point is easy to reach the designated position at one time, and the tea fragrance is excellent in Tang Yun.

How to use an iron pan:
1. It's the first time to use the wok. First, put 5- 10g tea leaves into an iron pot net, add water and cook for about10min. In this way, tannin contained in tea and iron dissolved in iron pot will form a tannin film on the surface of iron pot, which will be even more unsightly. At the same time, the odor of the new pot can be removed. After boiling, pour out the water in the pot and repeat it for 2-3 times until the water quality is clear.
2. The suitable heat source in the iron pot is charcoal fire. Electric and gas stoves are used now, and induction cookers can be used instead.
3. When in daily use, please fill it with water for 8 minutes to avoid water overflowing after boiling. Scarlet spots will appear on the inner wall of the iron pot in about 5 days, and white scales will appear in about 10 days. This is a normal phenomenon, as long as the water is not turbid, it will not affect drinking.
4. After each use, turn on a small fire to make the water in the pot fully evaporate, then dry it with a dry soft cloth to keep the pot dry. Don't let the water stay overnight in the pot. Prevent the iron pan from rusting and affect its service life.
